The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) offers programs in health professions, biomedical sciences, medicine, nursing, and pharmacy. TTUHSC is a multi-campus institution based in Lubbock with additional campuses located in Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas, El Paso and the Permian Basin. TTUHSC serves more than 100 counties in the western portion of Texas. The university is a separate institution from Texas Tech University; both universities are among four universities that are part of the Texas Tech University System.

The Texas Tech University School of Medicine was created by the 61st Texas Legislature in May 1969 as a multi-campus institution with Lubbock as the administrative center and with regional campuses at Amarillo, El Paso and the Permian Basin. In 1979, the charter was expanded to become the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, which grew to include the Schools of Nursing, Health Professions and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. In 1993, the Legislature authorized the establishment of a School of Pharmacy in Amarillo. School of Health Professions programs also were expanded to Amarillo and the Permian Basin. In fall 2007, the School of Pharmacy expanded to Abilene. The Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso received preliminary accreditation in February 2008 and opened in 2009. TTUHSC currently employs more than 6,000 people and more than 3,200 students are enrolled in the university.

The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is located in Lubbock and was part of the School of Medicine until 1994. The school is dedicated to training biomedical scientists.
